Sure, The Artist did well at the Academy Awards. But what does that really mean, statistically?
As usual, our friends at AddThis, a company that provides social media sharing tools for web publishers, tracked their network of 11 million sites and 1.2 billion unique users per month to find out which Oscar events really drove chatter among consumers.
The data show that the real Oscar winners were the iPad, Pinterest, Sacha Baron Cohen and Twitter. Losers included Ryan Seacrest, Facebook and Billy Crystal.
This was the background chatter in the weeks prior to the Oscars. Note that 'Hugo' dominates.
Demian Bichir peaked when he was nominated for a SAG award for 'Better Life.' But interest faded. More people were interested in George Clooney than Jean Dujardin of 'The Artist' in the week before the Oscars.
Prior to the show, the people's choice for Best Actress was Viola Davis, not Meryl Streep.
